This week in crypto saw significant developments across the market, from record-breaking sales to security breaches and a push towards mainstream adoption. Bitcoin and Ethereum’s prices continued their upward trend this week, with Bitcoin reaching $94,211.59 and Ethereum hovering around $1,750.75 according to Friday’s trading data. The Fear & Greed Index sits at 53 – Neutral. Let’s dive into some of the week’s key events: Polygon took the lead in NFT sales by surpassing Ethereum for the first time in nearly a year. This was fueled by real-world asset-backed NFTs, like Courtyard’s Pokémon card collection, which generated over $20 million in just one week. Meanwhile, zkSync saw a hacker return $5 million stolen in a recent exploit, a case of cooperation and safety nets within the blockchain community.
